Mandi, Sep 13 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur made a passionate appeal to the people, particularly to his Seraj constituency, to give him a breathing time to develop the most backward and fund starved constituency of the state.
Stating this while addressing a number of public meetings after laying foundations and inaugurating roads and school buildings on one-day tour of remote Karsog sub-division on Wednesday, Mr Thakur advised the defeated and disgruntled opposition leaders to support him in the development of the backward areas of the state forgetting the bitterness, if any. All are alike to him, he observed.
He warned that the forest mafia gang leaders would be dealt with an iron hand. Felling of forests and killing of honest officers would not be tolerated at any cost, he warned.
